Darkwatch: Curse of the West is a 2005 Western horror first-person shooter video game for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. The game was developed by High Moon Studios (formerly Sega Sammy Holdings) and published by Capcom in the United States; in the United Kingdom, it was published by Ubisoft.

The sequel to the game, titled Darkwatch 2, has been planned for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The game's story (narrated by Peter Jason) follows the exploits of Jericho Cross, an outlaw-turned-vampire, and his employment in an ancient vampire-hunting order known as the Darkwatch (hence the game's title). After unwittingly releasing the Darkwatch's greatest enemy, a vampire lord named Lazarus Malkoth, Jericho is conscripted into the Darkwatch as an elite operative. Jericho, however, is slowly turning into a vampire himself, after being bitten by Lazarus. The game outlines either Jericho's struggle for humanity or his descent into darkness, depending on the player's actions.

The game begins in Arizona Territory in 1876 with Jericho attempting to rob a Darkwatch train that is transporting the captured Lazarus Malkoth to the Darkwatch Citadel, a frequently mentioned and often visited location in the game, and in doing so releasing Lazarus into the West. In a seeming bit of mercy, Lazarus bites Jericho and gives him the curse of the vampire, causing him to slowly turn into one. The game continues with the introduction of Cassidy, as well as the appearance of Shadow, Jericho's undead horse.

Jericho Cross has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
